Ding dong. Estelle ran out of the kitchen and went to answer the front door. A friend from school was coming over to spend Satur

day with her.
"Buenos días, Vanessa!" Estelle said as she opened the door.
"Hi, Estelle! Sorry I'm late."
"Don't worry about a thing," Estelle smiled. "We don't pay much attention to the clock on the weekends. Pura Vida!"
"I don't know a whole lot of Spanish, but doesn't that mean pure life?" Vanessa stared at her friend waiting for an explanation.
"Pura vida translates as pure life, but the expression means everything is great and that you should enjoy life."
"Okay! I'm glad you're not upset," she paused. "Something smells delicious. What is that?" Vanessa inquired. The fragrant aroma that greeted her on the porch had her full attention as they walked through the living room and headed to the kitchen.
"Oh, that's probably the gallo pinto."
"Gallo pinto?" Vanessa repeated. She'd never heard of that before.
"Yes. Gallo pinto is a black beans and rice dish that is often eaten by Ticos at each meal," Estelle explained. "Since my family is from Costa Rica, we try to keep some traditions that remind us of our country. Gallo pinto is the national dish of Costa Rica."
"Does your family eat gallo pinto with every meal?"
"No. We mainly eat it with breakfast, but it tastes really good. I wouldn't mind eating it three times a day," Estelle chimed.
"Est—elle. Quit running your mouth and sit down so we can eat. I'm starving," Estelle's little brother complained.
"Javier! Shh," said Estelle's mother. "It's nice to see you again, Vanessa. Pura Vida! Would you like to try some gallo pinto with your breakfast?"
"Yes, please!" Vanessa exclaimed.

What does the phrase "pura vida" teach the reader about the Costa Rican people?

A.
They try to avoid unnecessary stress.

B.
They use hygiene products that are 100% pure.

C.
They frequently wash their hands to stay clean.

D.
They are rarely on time for activities.

Hi there!

We know that " Pura Vida," means pure life: and as what Estelle has said, "Pura Vida translates as pure life, but the expression means everything is great and that you should enjoy life."

Now that she explained this! Its obvious that your answer would:

A. They try to avoid unnecessary stress.

Because the Estelle has basically told you that she doesn't mean Hygiene products, how frequent they clean their hands, or how rare on time for activities.

Hope this helps and have a fantastic day!

Which word is a SYNONYM for tolerant?
Leto [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Tolerant is a good word to know the meaning of. One of the highest complements you can receive is to be told that you are tolerant.

It means that you are accepting of other cultures.  It does not mean indifferent. Indifferent has the additional meaning of not caring about other cultures which would make the population asleep or closed in.

It does not mean unaware. That would make the native population uncaring about what's around them. They certainly don't have to be that way.

Forgiving is too strong a word. It means that there was conflict and the native populations have forgiven the populations for some transgression.
